Brisket

2 # beef brisket
2 tsp kosher salt
1 Tbls black pepper
3 cups Coca Cola
2 oz package Knorr's Onion Soup Mix

Rub the brisket with salt, pepper and soup mix.
Put in a vessel that can go in the oven.
Add the coca-cola, cover the pot and braise in the oven at 325 until very tender.
Braising time may take 3 - 4 hours.

When it is delightfully tender, remove the meat from the pot and keep it warm.
Strain the braising liquid and put in a sauce pot.
Make a roux by melting 1/2 stick butter in a pan and sprinkle enough flour to make a paste.
Whisk enough of it into the strained braising mixture so that it begins to thicken slightly.
Allow this to simmer for 1/2 hour.
Skim any scum that rises to the top, then season as needed with salt and pepper.

Cut slices from your beef brisket and ladle the sauce over the top.
